Best Binge-Worthy Shows (Netflix and Hulu)

I love TV. I won’t lie. I am one of those people who could happily sit with a marathon of Grey’s Anatomy or a new season of Orange is the New Black for hours on end. Once I have my workout for the day done I am happy to binge my heart out while working on blog stuff or responding to emails. Sometimes I will do a craft or a DIY project or bake all with a few binge-worthy shows on hand. I have broken down my favorite binge-worthy shows for you guys and I am sharing them now! Some of these are newer shows that are still on TV and some are old classics you may or may not have watched.

Okay, so obviously there are TONS more, but these are my go to shows. Yes I watch a lot of TV, but isn’t that the great thing about binge-worthy shows? You don’t have to load up a DVR or even watch them when they are on. All you have to do is pick a show and lay out on the couch all day some rainy Sunday. I personally could rewatch a lot of these over and over again, and they are great to have on when you just need to veg out!

What are your favorite binge-worthy shows?

  1. My hubby and I LOVE binge-watching Netflix. We are currently “re-binging” How I Met Your Mother”. We’ve binged multiple times on The Office, Parks and Rec, and HIMYM, and we also really like Royal Pains, 30 rock, and Friends. When its just me watching, I love crime dramas 🙂

    Great lists! Also for the high schooler, Pretty Little Liars is super addictive. I love House of Cards, Bloodline, and The Path. I also keep up with Scandal every week, and I love the Shonda’s new show, I think it’s called The Chase? Oh! And Jane the Virgin is funny, ridiculous, and super addicting.

    I would add Jessica Jones on Netflix. SO SO GOOD. There is only one season so far, but it’s a great show…even if you’re not super into Marvel like we are in my house.

  8. I’m so with you on this! Binging on a TV show is my FAVORITE! I started Nashville on Hulu a few weeks ago and you HAVE TO GET ON THAT. It’s the best show I’ve watched in a log time and I don’t even like country music! I also wrote a post on this not long ago: http://www.erincusackblog.com/5-best-guilty-pleasure-shows-netflix/

    It’s funny how different we are. I’m not a TV watcher. My husband is a news junkie and I get so tired of hearing the TV in the background. I can honestly say that the only show on your list that I’ve watched is Friends and that is a bit scary! I’m off to a conference this week so I’ll take your list and indulge myself. Let’s see if I can get into the binge…

    Alright, so I can’t really speak on Gossip Girl or Gilmore Girls 🙂 … but we pretty much have a binge-worthy TV match. My wife and I even like to let some shows build up so we can watch a few at time. This works for pretty much everything (which is why Netflix is so awesome) … with the exception of Game of Thrones: that’s just must-see TV in real time. Haha

  15. I would definitely categorize Gossip Girl as a guilty pleasure lol. If you like Friends and How I Met Your Mother, I suggest checking out Rules of Engagement. It had me rolling!

    We were travelling for 2 years (without a TV) and when we got back, we spent an entire week in front of the TV watching all seasons of Breaking Bad and most of Orange is the new Black (although the latter was only any fun in the first series). Our TV fest was only put on pause for family and friends visiting of which there were many after 2 years away! We got that TV thing of our systems after that marathon and we’ve barely watched TV since. Soooo much to explore outside.

    So many of these are my favourite shows that I watch over and over again! I’m similar to you in the sense that I like to have something on the TV in the background when I’m doing things around the house or checking emails. Recently I’ve been really into New Girl which is on Shomi… But I just realized that I’m not sure if Shomi is available outside Canada?

  21. Fantastic list and you have a few of my favorites on there. I’d have to add Scrubs though… that show can ALWAYS suck me in, make me laugh and make me cry!

  28. I went through Scandal really fast. It was kind of sad! But not, because it was a lot of fun. 🙂 I’ve been watching Charmed a lot lately and it’s been fun to rewatch that show. It’s definitely a binge-worthy one for me. 🙂

  46. Oh, now I have more shows I need to watch on Netflix! Thank you! I enjoy How I Met Your Mother, but I’ve never watched from the beginning.

    For the High Schooler in me, I enjoy watching The Fosters and Pretty Little Liars.
